Throughout the Doctrine and Covenants the theme of redemption is woven. When the elders preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, their sins are forgiven them. When we do His will, He redeems us. D&C 62:3 states, “ye are blessed, for the testimony which ye have borne is recorded in heaven for the angels to look upon; and they rejoice over you, and your sins are forgiven you.” See also: D&C 31:4-5, 50:36, 84:61, 3 Nephi 27:20
